VISUAL PLANNING BOARDS

See the whole book while you build it.

Freeform boards hold ideas, scenes, questions, references, checklists, images, files, and nested workspaces. Arrange them the way your mind works, with space to keep growing.

  • Resizable, richly formatted cards
  • Nested boards and custom backgrounds
  • Snap, zoom, pan, group, and organize

RELATIONSHIP MAP

Connect every thread.

Turn characters, places, factions, artifacts, and chapters into a living map of your story. Build outward from the center, label relationships, and zoom across complex worlds.

Every connection stays linked to the story element it represents.
